Ladies.  Mothers and Sisters, Aunties and Grandmas, 
We will only begin to teach a new generation of young women about the truth of beauty when they watch us accept and embrace the beauty that is within each of us. 
Stop the fat comments. Embrace the chance to wear something you love. Feel beautiful and radiate beauty. Live compassionately – toward others and yourself. Give yourself space and grace to be who you are, as you were created. Just because you could be something more doesn’t mean you’re not enough right now, as you are. 
It makes me sad to know there are young girls today that believe they’re not beautiful because of the darkness of their skin. I’m grateful to know there are women in the world today who will re-calibrate the standard. 
Live beautifully, my friends.
